Influencing the development of art in Africa, the Khartoum School was formed in the 1960s with a focus on the Khartoum’s College of Fine and Applied Arts.  Work by three of the most influential Sudanese members is now on show at the Saatchi Gallery showing a simplicity of form, which is interestingly similar to contemporary work in Cuba at the same time, though there is no reason to think that there was a connection beyond cultural heritage of Africans being brought into Cuba as slaves after the Spanish decimated the local population though death and disease in the 19^th century.

A fascinating exhibition that links into the development of contemporary African art today.
